IDC Marks Big Data Analytics for Explosive Growth

What’s at stake with big data and analytics? Plenty, if you believe a new IDC infographic commissioned by enterprise Relevant Products/Services-software Relevant Products/Services powerhouse SAP to help tell its story, and, the story of the broader industry. IDC estimates SAP partners globally will earn $220 billion in revenue over the next five years related to its big data and analytics solutions. Yes, that’s $220 billion.

“SAP and its partners make a significant impact on the global economy,” said Darren Bibby, vice president for IDC Channels and Alliances Research. “SAP does an excellent job delivering great products for partners to work with, as well as effective sales, marketing and training resources. The result is that the SAP ecosystem is well-positioned for the future and customers will benefit from these additional skills and resources.”
